About This Item

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Doubleday, 1989. First Edition Stated . Hard Back. Very Good/Very Good. 223 pages. September 1989 printing. Dust jacket has unclipped 17.95 price. Set in the high, lonely plains of Texas this novel speaks to the ultimate questions of faith and hard testing. Durance is a town that has fallen on hard times. While the Chamber of Commerce dreams of rescue by hi-tech industry the townsfolk dream of Jesus splitting the clouds and wait his second coming. Into this town comes not Jesus but a stranger named Val, fleeing a past. Attracted by the emptiness, he pulls his suitcase off the bus and walks in to the lives of Henrietta who is waiting for love, Father Gilvary an aging Catholic priest waiting for validation of his faith and a boy, Cleat who has been waiting for a long time for whom or what nobody can say. In the spirit of Flannery O'Connor, A. G. Mojtabai explores the strange parallels of religious and secular life. This novel is concerned with how we live day by day, in ordinary time as opposed to extraordinary time. This is a novel about waiting, enduring, and prevailing.
